Its always better to read a tech doc vs a 3rd party press release

 

check out research. checkpoint. com    who made the discovery

 

Its indicated that the compromise is achieved by installing of an infected firmware AND OR use of default passwords.     Provided you have not downloaded a firmware from a 3rd party, or running default admin admin, then its unlikely to be an issue.   In Omada i would HOPE no one is using default passwords...

 

While not 100% certain about anything, I would say its unlikely to be Omada hardware.  Generally these type of events are on the home grade equipment that is either old and not updated, or not configured correctly.

Just an FYI... I didn't post this to be mean.  I'm genuinely concerned.  The article didn't mention any model numbers... but SOHO routers, I would assume, includes Omada.
